M Mediterranean Roasted Chickpea & Feta Salad
This salad brings together roasted chickpeas with fresh vegetables and tangy feta cheese. The chickpeas get tossed with za’atar and roasted until they’re golden and slightly crispy on the outside, which gives them a lovely texture that works well against the softer salad leaves.
M Mediterranean Style Breakfast Flatbreads
The last time I made lamb kebabs, I found myself with a fridge full of odds and ends that needed using up. A bit of leftover lamb, some feta that was getting close to its date, half a cucumber, and those pomegranate seeds that always seem to multiply when you’re not looking.
S Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta with Feta and Walnuts
This pasta dish brings together some brilliant Mediterranean flavours in one pan, which makes it perfect for a weeknight dinner when you want something a bit more interesting than the usual. The sun-dried tomatoes provide most of the flavour here, adding a lovely depth that you just can’t get from fresh ones. Using the oil from the jar is key too – it’s packed with flavour as well and gives the chicken a proper good sear.
C Charred Cabbage with Harissa & Lemon
I think cabbage deserves a bit more credit than it usually gets. It’s often just boiled away to nothing, but it can be brilliant when you treat it with a bit of care. This way of cooking it is dead simple, and it turns a humble sweetheart cabbage into something you’d genuinely look forward to eating. It’s the sort of thing you can make with very little fuss.
R Refreshing Lime & Mint Mojito Ice Lollies
These mojito lollies take the best bits of the cocktail and turn them into something you can eat. A proper mojito has that crisp mint and lime combination that’s really refreshing rather than just sweet, and freezing it actually works quite well because those flavours come through even when cold.
C Classic Italian Campari Spritz
Campari has this bitterness that cuts right through sweet prosecco in a way that is really delicious. The drink builds itself really – the red liqueur settles into the glass first, then the prosecco goes on top with its bubbles, and finally a splash of soda water to lighten the whole thing.
C Crispy Patatas Bravas
Patatas bravas might sound fancy, but it’s just crispy roasted potatoes with a good tomato sauce. The Spanish know what they’re doing with this one. You get nice golden potatoes on the outside, fluffy on the inside, covered in a sauce that has just enough heat to make things interesting.
G Greek Loaded Fries with Feta and Pomegranate
These loaded fries bring together crispy oven-baked chips with fresh flavours for a really tasty sharing dish. The secret to getting the chips just right is soaking them in salted water beforehand, which helps draw out some of the starch and results in a crispier finish.
